Game About YOU

OK, I stole this from a friend's blog, and I'm game if you are.

Tell me in the comments section that you want to play and:

1. I'll respond with something random about you.2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle you in.4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.5. I'll tell you my first memory of you.6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.7. I'll ask you something I've always wondered about you.
